About Me

John Cowan
New York, New York, United States
My friends say that I know at least something about practically everything; my enemies, that I know far too much about far too much. Here's the raw material for believing in both views. This is a personal blog. What I say here doesn't represent the views of my employer, Santa Claus, or anyone else. You can email me at cowan@ccil.org. Spams will be aggressively filtered.
